I just found this great tool that will help people find their work that has been stolen by others. I have used it and did find a site that had reposted an article I had written a while back for another site. They did provide a link so I left it alone, but I was impressed at how easy it was and how quick it was to find it.
The free tool is super easy. Just type in your web address and hit the button. It takes only a few moments and finds content that matches your page. The free version does not search for anything other than the exact page you type in, but the premium version (which I have not tried) claims to search up to 10,000 pages on your site.
Try out the free version and see how it works. If you decide to get one of the premium paid services. Let em know what you think of it. I'm curious to know how well it does work, especially for a larger site.

DESIGN TOOL - Apophysis
I have been asked may times what software I use for various designs. It really just depends on the design, really. One that I have been using quite a lot lately is called Apophysis.
Apophysis is a freeware flame fractal generator for windows. It has many features and is fairly simple to use, once you get the hang of it. You can easily create some great designs by simply clicking around and exploring the various tools, menus, and options. The possibilities and power of this program seem almost endless.
You can download the latest version(s) of Apophysis from HERE. A 3D version and a screen saver is also available, though I have not had much time to check either one out yet.
Although you can jump in and make some awesome creations, I highly recommend checking out a few tutorials to get a feel for the true potential of Apophysis. Here is a list of some great resources for tutorials (note that some of these may be slightly outdated as this program is still in development):
Of course you can always check out YouTube and Google or any other search engine for more tutorials about this program. It is one of my favorite and I hope others come to love it as well. We can all use more free stuff that is actually useful right?
